More slot work on tap

Colts coach Frank Reich said Tuesday that he anticipates Campbell (foot) seeing more reps out of the slot in 2020, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Analysis: Reich indicated that while he's willing to move Campbell around the formation, the slot may be the best spot for the second-year receiver to find consistent playing time with No. 1 target T.Y. Hilton and rookie Michael Pittman profiling as the top options out wide. Campbell was limited to just seven games in 2019 -- with a sports hernia, hamstring injury, broken hand and foot fracture costing him time. Reich noted that Campbell is still going through the final stages of his rehab for the broken…read more

Hopes to be healthy in February

Campbell (foot) has been rehabbing in Indianapolis, hoping to be healthy enough for high-intensity workouts by mid-February, Jim Ayello of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis: The second-round pick broke his foot during a Week 14 loss to Tampa Bay, capping off a frustrating rookie season that also featured a sports hernia, a hamstring injury and a broken hand. Campbell actually played with the foot fracture throughout much of that Week 14 contest, but X-rays after the game revealed it to be a season-ending injury. He finished the year with an 18-127-1 receiving line on 24 targets and four carries for 34 yards, averaging 28 offensive snaps in seven appearances.…read more

Fractures foot in Week 14

Analysis: Fresh off returning from a four-game layoff due to a broken right hand, Campbell suffered another injury that will result in the third multi-week absence of his rookie season. The wideout could need surgery to address the fractured foot, but the expectation is that he'll be back to full strength for training camp, if not the Colts' offseason program. Campbell's injury woes put a damper on his first NFL season, with the second-round pick out of Ohio State appearing in just seven games and…read more

Shut down for season

The Colts placed Campbell on injured reserve Monday due to an unspecified issue.

Analysis: After missing four games following surgery to address a fractured right hand, Campbell returned to action in a starting role in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers, playing 31 of the Colts' 63 offensive snaps (49 percent) in the contest and finishing with three catches for 12 yards on five targets. Campbell wasn't known to have suffered from an injury during the game, but his move to IR implies that the Colts weren't anticipating him playing in any of their final three games.

Cleared for Sunday

Coach Frank Reich confirmed Campbell (hand) will be available to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, barring a setback, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

Analysis: Campbell opened the week as a full participant in practice and wasn't restricted Thursday or Friday either, so he'll put an end to a four-game absence in Tampa Bay. With top wideout T.Y. Hilton (calf) ruled out for another game, Campbell could immediately slide into a starting role at receiver alongside Zach Pascal on Sunday. Even if Hilton returns at some point during the final three games of the season, Campbell could retain a sizable role in the Colts' passing attack with three other key…read more

Practices fully

Campbell (hand) practiced fully Wednesday, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

Analysis: Campbell has been out since fracturing his hand in Week 9, but his full participation at practice Wednesday suggests that he's trending toward a return to action Sunday against the Buccaneers. If he's ready to go this weekend, Campbell would provide the Colts' wideout corps with a much-needed boost, as top option T.Y. Hilton is iffy for Week 14 due to a calf injury.

Practicing Wednesday

Campbell (hand) will practice Wednesday, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

Analysis: Campbell logged a trio of limited practices last week before being ruled out ahead of the Colts' loss to the Titans, so he could realistically have a similar cap on his reps Wednesday. With T.Y. Hilton (calf) also withheld from practice, the Colts' healthy receiving corps currently consists of Zach Pascal, Marcus Johnson, Ashton Dulin and Chad Williams. If the rookie second-round pick manages to return to full health in time for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, he stands to benefit from…read more

Has shot to play Week 14

Coach Frank Reich said it's "too soon to tell" if Campbell (hand) will be cleared for Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis: Campbell was given a similarly ambiguous status a week ago but was inactive for this past Sunday's loss to the Titans. If he's able to get healthy, the rookie second-rounder is slated for increased duties against the Bucs' 31st-ranked pass defense (282.8 yards allowed per game) since T.Y. Hilton (calf) is trending in the wrong direction.

Won't play Sunday

Campbell (hand) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Analysis: With Campbell still out Sunday, Zach Pascal, Chester Rogers and Marcus Johnson will continue to see added snaps at wide receiver for the Colts, with T.Y. Hilton (calf) out and Devin Funchess (collarbone) still on IR.

Week 13 status unclear

Campbell (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Analysis: Despite practicing all week -- albeit in a limited fashion -- Campbell's Week 13 status remains unclear, according to Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site. As evidence, coach Frank Reich noted Friday, "I'm not so sure [Campbell's] gonna make it this week, but we're gonna wait another day to make that decision." If Campbell is limited or out Sunday, Zach Pascal, Chester Rogers and Marcus Johnson would continue to see added snaps at wide receiver this weekend. T.Y. Hilton (calf) and Devin…read more

Still limited at practice

Campbell (hand) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Analysis: We'll look for added clarity with regard to Campbell's Week 13 status no later than Friday, but with T.Y. Hilton (calf) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans and Devin Funchess (collarbone) not yet ready to play, Campbell -- if available -- could step into a key role in the team's passing game this weekend.

Could return Sunday

Campbell (hand) was limited at practice Wednesday, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

Analysis: Campbell, who is bouncing back from a procedure on his right hand that he underwent about three weeks ago, has a chance to play Sunday against the Titans, but first the Colts want to see how the rookie wideout looks at practice in the coming days. If Campbell is able to return to action this weekend, he could step into a key role opposite T.Y. Hilton (calf), with Devin Funchess (collarbone) still not ready to play.

May return Week 13

Coach Frank Reich said Campbell (hand) could be able to play Sunday against the Titans, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

Analysis: Campbell suffered the fractured hand Week 9 against the Steelers and has missed the last three games as a result. The rookie second-round pick's participation at practice later this week should provide a clearer idea of his potential availability for this weekend.

Won't play Thursday

Campbell (hand) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Texans.

Analysis: Campbell was listed as a limited practice participant Monday through Wednesday, but it's worth noting that the submitted reports were only estimates, as the Colts only staged walk-through sessions on the short week. He'll look to fit in some actual on-field practice reps in Week 13 prep, potentially setting him up for a return to action in the Dec. 1 matchup with the Titans.

Limited in practice Tuesday

Campbell turned in a limited practice Tuesday.

Analysis: Campbell continues trending in the right direction after an estimated limited practice Monday. While he is not expected to suit up Thursday against the Texans, he looks on track to return for his target date of Week 13 against Tennessee.

Estimated as limited participant

Campbell (hand) was estimated as a limited participated on Monday's injury report.

Analysis: The Colts only held a walkthrough Monday, but the fact Campbell was expected to participate in some capacity is a good sign for his recovery from a fractured hand. The rookie second-round pick may not be able to return for Thursday's game at Houston due to the short week of preparation, but he appears on track for a return Week 13 as previously expected.

Seeking Week 13 return

Campbell (hand) is aiming to return Week 13 against the Titans, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis: Campbell is in the midst of the second multi-game absence of his rookie season, previously having missing a pair of contests following surgery on his abdomen. He told George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin that he suffered a broken hand in the fourth quarter of the Colts' Week 9 loss at Pittsburgh, which seemingly will keep him sidelined for three contests. If that timeline holds true, he'll complete his recovery in time for a Dec. 1 divisional matchup with Tennessee.

Suffers fractured hand

Campbell broke his hand during Sunday's loss to the Steelers and will undergo surgery, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Analysis: Campbell will miss time, but the Colts don't plan on placing him on injured reserve. This means Campbell has a shot to return at some point during the regular season, and he should be good to go if the Colts make the playoffs. It's a disappointing diagnosis, and Campbell is coming off the best performance of his rookie campaign, as he hauled in all five targets for 53 yards and rushed three times for 27 yards Sunday. The Colts already are without T.Y. Hilton (calf) for the next two games, so…read more

Posts 80 total yards

Campbell (hand) hauled in all five of his targets for 53 yards in Week 9 against Pittsburgh. He also added three rushes for 27 yards.

Analysis: Campbell brought a big-play element to the Colts' offense in the absence of T.Y. Hilton (calf), accounting for three plays of 15 or more yards. The team emphasized getting him the ball in situations where he could display his athleticism, with his biggest gain of the contest coming on a short pass early in the second quarter, which he turned upfield for a 27-yard gain. He was also used as a ball carrier on a reverse, which he converted into a 22-yard gain. After the game, Campbell underwent an…read more

Could see larger role

Campbell could have a larger role in the Indianapolis offense with T.Y. Hilton set to miss several weeks with a calf injury, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Campbell did not have a target and played just eight snaps in last week's win over Denver. However, Campbell may have been eased into action after missing three weeks due to an abdominal injury. He could be moved up into a role where he's the deep threat in an attempt to replace Hilton's speed in the offense.
